Much faster on bitmap graphics. In general, very fast with all documents.<p> Brother provides a <a href="http://solutions.brother.com/linux/">driver</a>, too, but binary-only and only for LPD/LPRng. According to the printout quality it is based on the "ljet4" Ghostscript driver. "pxlmono", "gimp-print" (600 dpi), and "hpijs-pcl5e" (600 dpi) give a better grayscale quality and all special features of the printer are accessible by PJL commands.<p> There is no manual in the box, you find it as PDF file on the CD with the Windows/Mac drivers.<p><p> Consumables/Refills: Separate Toner and Drum<p> </en> </comments> </printer>
